Investments to Combat the Criminal Use of Firearms Initiative

The Investments to Combat the Criminal Use of Firearms (ICCUF) Initiative is a $50 million, five-year program within the Ministry of Public Safety portfolio. It involves three key partner organizations:

  1. Ministry of Public Safety
  2. Royal Canadian Mounted Police:
    • Firearms Support Services Directorate
    • Criminal Intelligence Directorate
    • Criminal Intelligence Service Canada
  3. Canada Border Services Agency

These investments are intended to stabilize funding for existing efforts, increase funding to enhance criminal information/intelligence collection activities related to firearms, and increase funding to build on efforts already identified through the Canada-U.S. Action Plan on Firearms Trafficking.
